Thousands of Ghanaians took to social media Sunday morning to vent their spleen on international news outlet Cable News Network (CNN) over some disparaging comments made about Ghana following the December 7 polls.

CNN reporter, Stephanie Busari reported from her base in Nigeria that Ghanaians struggle to obtain food and day-to-day services and often stand in long queues to obtain products but within minutes of detecting the palpable falsehood, Twitter went agog with Ghanaians from all sides of the political divide lashing out at the renowned news outfit for publishing such lies about the country.

Grave inaccuracies and misrepresented facts didn’t go unnoticed as CNN got their fair share of the editing prowess of Ghanaians who taught them that we’re ‘GHANAIANS’ not ‘GHANIANS’ as they put out in their initial publication.

They further claimed that Ghana’s president-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo lost his first presidential elections in 1998 but once again, there was no presidential election in Ghana in that year.

After several hours of attrition being hurled at CNN, they finally did some corrections on the publication with an editor’s note.

Ghanaians were incensed because they felt the international media were always keen on the negatives about Africa and hence found it difficult to report a very peaceful election.

This reportage was therefore seen as reprehensible and egregious in a bid to portray the West African country as a deplorable one faced with absolute starvation.
